I´m looking for a laptop that is easy to repair and has open source hardware.
Preferably there would be something like the ITX standard for laptops with different standard designs. Like a ultra book, notebook and different screen sizes. If there was standardized screen you could easily repair your laptop.
All hardware should be open.
The firmware should be open with known checksums.
Open boot loader.
Open source operating system.
All components should be upgradable so that once the laptop speed wise is obsolete by moores law it should be easy to dissamble and recyle the materials.
Further you should be able to reuse components which does not age that fast as the cpu and mainboard, for example the keyboard, mouse and display.
We throw a lot of electronic garbage, that ends up being exported to cheap scrap yards in China and Africa, this needs to change if we do not want a junk yard planet.
- ymse 11y agoFairphone is doing something similar with their upcoming phone. Although the hardware is not open. They should talk with OP. https://www.fairphone.com/phone/ https://www.fairphone.com/phone/
- reirob 11y agoThanks for sharing. Just looked on their site, but can't see when the Fairphone 2 will be coming and what other OSes it will be able to run additionally to Android 5.1. Any idea?
